When Andre Drummond signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in March, the overwhelming expectation was that Marc Gasol would lose his spot in the rotation, and for the most part, that’s been true. In the last 10 games, Gasol has had four DNP-CDs.
However, when the Lakers played the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday, it was Montrezl Harrell that was a healthy scratch. Prior to that game, Harrell had appeared in every game for Los Angeles this season. Vogel explained his decision to sit Harrell after their loss on Saturday.
“We’re keeping all three centers sharp,” Vogel said then.
